No matter if you are a seasoned veteran or newbie when it comes to video games, chances are that you have played one of the Megaman games.

JerryPie wants you to create a Mega Man 2 Boss portrait and sprite with the original NES restrictions and colors.

Portrait: Can use as many colors as you want.

Sprite: Can be in any pose, but must be 32x32 max and fit within the square boundaries. Must only use 5 colors max. (The background behind the sprite can be any color and does not count as one of the 5 colors. But it must be a solid color.)

Death, Grim Reaper, Pale Death, Angel of Death, Steve Buscemi; there are many names to describe the one that gets us all.

But have you ever wondered how he gets to you? PJer Irenaart has and she wants you to depict him on the most craziest and the most ridiculous transportation device you can imagine. From the vacuum cleaner to rubber duck it's only important that is hilarious... and scary!

If there is one thing that really makes you break your pencil in half with sheer rage it's failing at drawing hands. So just lay back, relax and pixel the weirdest hand you can; 4 noodly thumbs, 2 middle fingers and no palm? Why not.

A bit of shaving cream, a sharp razor and water is all you need to give your manly hairy face a completely fresh and new look.

This week is all about shaving!

Create two portraits of the same person with and without facial hair. You don't have to pixel completely different pieces; adding some kind of facial hair to your clean-shaven portrait is enough to enter. However, in order to make your entry more interesting you can, for example, change the facial expression or hairsyle.

There's something magic about records pressed on vinyl. It's not only the rich sound but the feel of holding a piece of music history in your own hands as well.

This week, you have the chance to cut your own record. Use the attached template below and add as many grooves as you like. The grey part is reserved for the label which you can use to express your creativity.

There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

You look at his palette:

You ask yourself what to do with it. You contemplate and are still unable to find an answer. You follow your daily routine but can only think of these 4 hues. You feel strange looking at anything green or brown. You wake up in sweat every morning living through a night of nightmares. You can't eat, relax or sleep. You slowly lose the ability to see other colours. You suddenly notice that you are being driven insane!!!

And then it hits you! This is the solution to it all! You just have to........

With George A. Romero passing away recently we have not only lost a man who wore scuba goggles as glasses, but also one of the inventors of the zombie genre. His first 3 films featuring "Of The Dead" in the title are considered to be horror classics.

In order to pay some tribute reimagine one of your favourite characters from a movie, series or game as a drooling zombie.

After 32 years of duty Microsoft is planning to kill off MS Paint with this year's Autumn/Fall Creators Update. I think we can all relate to Paint in a way, whether good or bad.

There is a good chance that your first piece of pixel art was done with the help of MS Paint. For this week's challenge we want you to go back to one of your first pixels and recreate it with all your now acquired knowledge about rendering, colours and AA.

No doubt, we all have a favourite movie. Whether it's Ash defeating the Army Of Darkness or Doctor Zhivago (1965, of course) finally being alone with Lara in the Taiga. There is always one scene or character that really strikes us.

Take such a character or iconic shot from you favourite movie and pixel it. How you depict it is up to you. A portrait, sprite or whole scene, everything goes.

Having a bad time? Feeling down? Or are you merely living in the southern hemisphere and have to deal with the approaching winter? Just change your perspective, they say, and everything will be fine again.

A nice set of teeth? A cute nose? The perfect chin? No, it's none of that! Create the portrait of an extraterrestrial being smiling at the camera. You can go crazy on the facial features. The more eyes the better.

Now you have the chance to pixel even three of them! Create a RPG party with the different members being humanoid animals. Try to work in the stereotypical traits of the animals you pixel. For example, the strong bear as the tank or the wise owl casting spells.

Your task is to create a piece that only consists of #ffffff (white) and #000000 (black). There is no overall topic given which means you can pixel anything you like. Just make sure that your palette solely has the 2 above mentioned colours.
